Ronaldo Shifts To Old Trafford: 'Shock Turnaround' For Red Devils
[BBC] [Getty Images] Another game that sums up this campaign for Burnley: lacking in pace, lacking in excitement, lacking in any goals, lacking in anything that demonstrates that either Scott Parker or his team have anything close to what it takes to survive in the Premier League. Three points were there for the taking. They were not taken.
A pathetically weak whimper down to the Championship. We have shown such a painful lack of any drive or desire this season. Every now and again - the Brentford performance being the most recent example - the players show some fight in a "battling performance" and we are presented with the PR spin claiming that these players do have desire and that you can't say that this team isn't leaving everything on the pitch.
I'm sorry, but one swallow does not make a summer, and Parker simply doesn't have what it takes to manage in this league - as painful as that feels to face, because we all wanted him to succeed and have a long and successful career in East Lancashire. Put simply, I can't wait for this miserable season to be over. In better news, an update for those who read last week's piece: Burnley Women did indeed beat Wolves at Turf Moor.
